Is it Worth Renewing Kaplan Online Syllabus for $500

I will be retaking the MCAT and I need the aamc exams. Do you think its better to renew the Kaplan online syllabus which includes all the exams?

My Kaplan service ran out, too. To get the AAMC exams (which I had paid for previously), I borrowed access from one of my friends who had access.

If you cannot do this, if you renew you will have access to Kaplan exams and their other prep materials also.

If you do not want this, buying the AAMC exams separately ($35 each) would be cheaper.

You cant get the online access renewed using their gaurantee? A friend of mine did. And he said Kaplan was pretty nice about it.

call 1800 kaptest, they let you renew one time for 5 months, but I think you have to pay again after the second time

Do you have to renew before you take your MCAT or before the "end date" listed on your online syllabus?

I won't get my scores before my course access ends according to the online syllabus. Should I "renew" just in case as a backup - or can you still renew after your course "ends" once you receive your scores?

I really plan and hope on finishing this test but I don't want to pay $500 in the event things don't go as planned 🙂

I called and they said you can renew up to 90 days after your materials expire

Awesome, thank you for doing that! I don't know why I didn't think of calling them to check. I'll get my scores before the 90-day mark and then I can decide... hopefully won't have to renew and won't have to worry about it. 9 days to go!

This is what I plan to do. After taking the online class, if I feel unprepared I'll renew my subscription (or whatever you call it). And 90 days is correct; you have 90 days to renew under the guarantee

In my opinion, I would definitely renew it if you can. That means you have to complete the first 5 or 6 full lengths as well as all of the required assignments. If you haven't completed them all, you can just open them and put random answers which will take like 10 min to complete them all.

In my opinion, even if you have to pay the $500, I would get the kaplan materials because I think they are really really beneficial. The Full Lengths are a little detail oriented, but having access to all of the modules as well as AAMC tests is priceless.
